Pros

Staff in direct service roles Clients are generally nice people Offer health insurance

Cons

Within three years of being hired, close to forty percent of the staff positions had turned over. A GI Joe grip on funding streams and the ready availability of recent graduates mean that there is little incentive to develop and retain employees. Thus the interpersonal and orginizational incompetence of upper management will never be punished. I learned a lot about how not to manage people here. I left the profession after teaching here.

Pros

The job itself is great. Love what I do and enjoy helping the clients. Work-life balance is very good as well.

Cons

Unfortunately, JVS is terrible employer. It's ironic that we try to help people find quality jobs and try to help employers be quality employers, and yet JVS itself does the opposite. Intentionally underpays employees (not even a livable wage for Boston), limited career progression opportunities, toxic leadership and culture from the top down, no strategic focus on our actual goals, and double standards for work expectations. Really questionable decision-making.
